Chapter 425: A deal with the teahouse
Jiang Yimo just smiled when she heard this. She didn't care who Lu Jialing would marry.
At this moment, she was more concerned about how to make a deal with the owner of the teahouse.
After Jiang Yimo chatted with Miss Shen for a while, she heard the play on the stage was over, so she signaled Qingzhu to invite the owner of the teahouse over.
This teahouse is located on the most prosperous main street in the imperial city. The owner has been doing business here for many years and has long developed a pair of sharp eyes. He knows all kinds of dignitaries well.
When he saw the maid beside Jiang Yimo inviting him upstairs so politely, he naturally would not refuse and went upstairs readily.
The owner of the teahouse is a tall and handsome middle-aged man. He is energetic and gives people a sense of stability.
He could see at a glance that Jiang Yimo exuded a unique temperament and knew that she was no ordinary person, so he remembered her as soon as she entered the door.
So, without saying a word, he followed Qingzhu upstairs with a smile on his face.
"Miss, is there something you want to ask someone to call Hu over?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at Jiang Yimo and asked with a smile.
"Oh, Shopkeeper Hu, I want to do business with you." Jiang Yimo said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Hu was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Jiang Yimo meant.
Even Miss Shen who was standing by was confused. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Yimo curiously, wondering what she was up to.
"Miss, what do you mean? I don't understand." Shopkeeper Hu frowned and asked in confusion.
"Shopkeeper Hu, I have a lot of wonderful storybooks, they are very interesting." Jiang Yimo explained slowly.
There are many books in her office, including classics and various story books.
So she took out a storybook from her bosom and handed it to Shopkeeper Hu, which was a traditional Chinese version.
"This book, The Legend of the White Snake, is one of them. It tells a touching love story."
Shopkeeper Hu took the storybook, flipped through a few pages, and was immediately attracted.
He couldn't help but read it. The more he read, the more fascinated he became, with an expression of amazement on his face.
"It's so wonderful! This story is so fascinating!" Shopkeeper Hu said excitedly.
"There are other stories, such as "The Butterfly Lovers", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", etc. Each story is full of emotions and plots." Jiang Yimo continued to introduce.
Although she had only been in this world for a short time, she had made a point of learning about the culture of this generation in order to integrate into this world.
The historical and cultural world she lives in now is quite different from the historical and cultural world she lived in in her previous life.
Many famous sayings and various works are not found here.
Shopkeeper Hu widened his eyes. Although he was not a scholar, he had loved reading since he was a child and was considered a well-read person. However, he had never seen such a wonderful story.
He has realized that this could be a huge business opportunity.
"Girl, can you sell me these storybooks?" he asked in disbelief.
"Of course." Jiang Yimo answered confidently.
"Then we can cooperate!" Shopkeeper Hu said excitedly, "You sell these storybooks to me, and I will hire a storyteller to tell these stories in the teahouse. They will definitely be very popular!"
Jiang Yimo nodded. She had already expected that Manager Hu would be interested.
"But I have some conditions," she said calmly.
"What conditions? As long as they are reasonable, I will agree to them." Shopkeeper Hu asked anxiously.
"First, I hope to get a certain percentage of the storytelling income. Secondly, I require the storybooks..." Jiang Yimo stated her conditions in one breath.
Shopkeeper Hu pondered for a moment and felt that these conditions were not excessive.
After all, this storybook is indeed worth listening to and is very attractive.
Although the 40% profit share given to her is very high, her continuous output of story books will definitely attract more people to consume in his teahouse. If successful, this will bring huge profits to his teahouse.
"Okay, I agree to your conditions. I can give you 40% of the profit." Shopkeeper Hu said readily.
Jiang Yimo nodded with satisfaction. She knew that this transaction would bring her a lot of wealth.
"Since Manager Hu is so straightforward, I will write a contract now and we will sign it first. This will not only help our future cooperation, but also avoid many unnecessary disputes over interests in the future."
"Okay!" Although Shopkeeper Hu didn't understand what Jiang Yimo was talking about the contract, when he looked at Jiang Yimo's clear, bright and lively eyes, he subconsciously felt that she would not cheat him.
So he agreed without hesitation.
Jiang Yimo also liked the quick and efficient shopkeeper Hu, so she immediately took out paper and pen from her small bag and drew up a contract.
This contract specifies in detail the rights and obligations of both parties, including important terms such as the scope of use of the storybook and the profit sharing ratio.
Shopkeeper Hu and Miss Shen were secretly amazed. They didn't expect that a little girl could be so capable. Not only could she write a wonderful story, but she could also draft such a rigorous contract.
Jiang Yimo was secretly proud of herself. She was from the Modern Society, so this little thing was not difficult for her.
At the same time, she also looks forward to seeing that the storybooks in her hands can make the teahouse business more popular and bring in more profits.
After happily signing the contract with Manager Hu, Jiang Yimo and Miss Shen left the teahouse.
At this moment, Miss Shen looked at Jiang Yimo with eyes full of admiration.
"Miss Jiang, you are really amazing. Not only can you practice medicine and cook delicious food, you can also write stories..."
Miss Shen's praises were endless, making Jiang Yimo feel a little embarrassed.
However, she just laughed. In fact, she was also an ordinary person, just a modern person who traveled through time.
But Jiang Yimo was secretly happy in her heart, because she knew that these were her advantages and could help her live better in ancient society.
Next, they went to several shops and bought some daily necessities and gifts.
Along the way, Miss Shen admired Jiang Yimo more and more, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.
It was after noon when Jiang Yimo and Miss Shen separated. At this time, Jiang Yimo brought Qingzhu and Qingnuan to Jiang Yuli's stall.
She originally planned to come over in the morning, but she met Miss Shen on the street. Miss Shen had a good relationship with her, so she went to play on the street with her for a while before coming to find him.
However, Jiang Yuli seemed to have no business today. He sat alone on a small stall, reading a book very seriously.
Jiang Yimo approached him with two maids, but he didn't notice at all.
